The Tints Screen - Microtek ScanMaker IIG User Manual

The Tints screen

1 The Color Wheel shows you the position of colors — green is across magenta, and
red is across cyan. By moving the pointer (a small dot in the center of the wheel) to
another place in the color wheel, the hue of the image is altered. For instance, if you
move the pointer towards the green area of the wheel, the image will acquire a
greenish cast.
2 The Saturation bar lets you change the intensity of the hues (colors) in your image.
Use Saturation selectively, because increasing saturation will intensify all hues in the
image.
3, 4 are available only when scan material chosen is negative .
3 The Film Type Selection bar allows you to select the type of film you used for your
negative. Choosing the correct film type is important in maintaining image quality,
and you should choose the film type that's indicated on the packaging that came
with your film.
The Film Type Selection box provides several choices for you to choose from. If
your type of film is not in the list but a similar film type from the same company is
available, you may choose from one of them. Very often, similar films from the same
company use identical film types. For example, Kodak 135, ASA 100, ASA 200, and
ASA 400 are grouped as the same type — ASA 100.
If your film type is not in the selection list and you cannot find its family group,
choose Generic Negative Film .
4 The Exposure Correction bar lets you adjust the exposure of a negative. An
overexposed negative looks dark (with the image itself in the dialog box appearing
bright), while an underexposed negative appears light (with the image itself
appearing dark).
• If your film is overexposed (image is too bright), drag the bar to the left; this will
make the image darker.
• If your film is underexposed (image is too dark), drag to the bar to the right; this
will make the image lighter.
